PREMIERSHIP forward Ryan Schoenmakers will miss Box Hill Hawks' Round 9 VFL match with injury.

Schoenmakers reinjured his groin in his return to football a fortnight ago in the VFL and will not play at any level this weekend.

Box Hill had a bye last week, meaning this is the second week in a row he will not play.

Schoenmakers, 25, lined up in Hawthorn's opening three matches of the season before suffering what Hawthorn coach Alastair Clarkson described as a "grumbly groin".

Hawthorn takes on Melbourne on Saturday afternoon at the MCG, while Box Hill faces North Ballarat this Sunday.

Schoenmakers had played about 70 per cent game time in his VFL comeback a fortnight ago, after a month on the sidelines, kicking a goal from a dozen disposals.
